Deemed the key measure of the regulatory balance in Sweden’s online gambling market, the channelisation rate represents the percentage of wagering volume accounted for by licensed operators.
Sanctioned as a regulatory assignment in 2023, the Inspectorate was commissioned by the government to redevelop the “calculation metrics for the channelisation of the Swedish gaming market.”
The assignment was to be reported on for the 2024 budget as part of a broader initiative to ensure that government authorities can monitor gambling trends and risks to national consumers.
